InterChange is a growing, united, and diverse group of community-based peacebuilders around the world who share knowledge, collaborate on educational and research projects, and support one another with the aim of nurturing and developing dynamic, durable and positive peace.

Also watch out for more on a new project, Health and Peace. Anthea, the coordinator, has posted her initial blog on the website and will be giving more information soon.
